Coconut Pecan Quinoa Granola

I’m a little bit obsessed with this granola. It’s perfectly sweet and nutty, made with natural ingredients, and it’s packed with protein. When I’m not just munching on it as a snack, I’m making these awesome yogurt parfaits {keep scrolling down}.

I kept this recipe really simple, not a lot of mix-ins, but you can totally get creative with it. Some dried fruit would be great (cranberries would be my first pick!) but I left them out so I could sprinkle it in yogurt. I don’t like dried fruit in yogurt…it has to be fresh. But that’s just me.

Oh hello beautiful! This is that parfait I was talking about. Breakfast? Lunch? Dessert? It’s totally justifiable any time of day.

In another bowl whisk together coconut oil (melted), honey or agave nectar, and vanilla extract.

Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until evenly distributed. Spread on to a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil and bake for 20-30 minutes (or until golden), stirring once half way through.

Agreed-only fresh fruit with yogurt! This granola looks amazing – I love the unique combinations of flavors and textures. I like the simplicity as well … I haven’t made many granola and definitely not with quinoa but I am pinning this into my “to-do” board!

I LOVE homemade granola! And coconut, and blueberry Greek yogurt. I want all of it right now. Also, the pictures are goooorrrggeeooouuusss. The lighting is perfect, and I love the granola falling into the cracks in the wood. Soooo pretty!

Kristy,
I made this yesterday – it is wonderful. I’m going to share on my blog and will reference your link. Thanks for the great recipe.
